Résumé
This study investigated the attitudes, political behavior, and demographic characteristics of 307 supporters of the "radical right", selected among the approximately 2,000 attendants of the "San Francisco Bay Region School of Anti-Communism" held by the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade in Oakland, California, from January 29- February 2, 1962. Information was collected by personal interviews (94) and mail questionnaires (214), with most questions taken from the American National Election Studies (see AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDIES CUMULATIVE DATA FILE, 1948-1998 [ICPSR 8475]), Samuel Stouffer's COMMUNISM, CONFORMITY, AND CIVIL LIBERTIES STUDY, 1954 (ICPSR 7202), and Martin Trow's study of attitudes toward Senator Joseph McCarthy in Bennington, Vermont. The study also contains a number of derived variables assessing political activity, "internal communism", intolerance, socioeconomic and foreign policy conservatism, and occupational mobility. Demographic data include age, sex, level of education, religious denomination, place of birth, and gross family income.
